Picture Quality

Samsung UN65MU8500 has a very good picture quality thanks to the 4K resolution. Of course, it doesn’t have the same quality as QLED TVs. The most important display feature is the 4K HDR Extreme that provides bright and colorful images with astonishing clearness. This feature is very useful when playing games or watching colorful content. Also we have good news for movie lovers because this TV has local dimming (precision black). Local dimming dims the backlight of the screen where the colors are black and it is very useful when watching content with dark scenes, like movies. In addition, Samsung UN65MU8500 has a 240Hz motion rate that makes the images run smoothly on the screen so you will enjoy watching content like action movies or sports. The colors look very good too and we will give 5/5 points for the Samsung UN65MU8500 review part of the picture quality.

Features

Sound

Samsung UN65MU8500 has two Dolby Digital Plus built-in speakers with 20W power each. The total output power of 40 W is usually enough, unless you are standing too far from the TV. If this is the case you should consider buying external speakers that will turn your room into a home theater. If you do buy external speakers you can also take advantage of the multi room link technology. Samsung UN65MU8500 has also a woofer that improves the sound quality furthermore. The sound is usually clear, but that depends on the content quality. We will give 5/5 points for the Samsung UN65MU8500 review part of the sound.

Design

Samsung UN65MU8500 has also a good design. The screen is curved which we like, however, there are people who don’t. Also the silver color looks good on TVs and will make this TV compatible with whatever color your room has. The frame is quite thin, however, we have seen better. Although the standers does not look that good, they serve for a better purpose because they hide the connecting cables thus making the TV and the place around it look clean. Samsung UN65MU8500 looks like an expensive TV and will make your room more beautiful. We will give 4.5/5 points for the Samsung UN65MU8500 review part of the design.
